POST OWNERSHIP

In submitting a guest post here, we assume the post is original content written exclusively for this blog, and we become the owner and copyright owner of the posting. In submitting, you give us your consent to republish the work in any way, form, or media without compensation or additional permission. If the content is ever republished, we will always prominently credit you.

We ask that you get our permission if you wish to use the exact post on another blog, newsletter, or other means of publication digitally or in print. This permission will not unreasonably be withheld. We ask this to ensure that any repost includes 1) a link back to this blog and 2) notes that the article first appeared on this blog. We will never take credit for writing the guest post. This in no way limits you to never writing on this subject elsewhere, but that other writing on the same subject should be new original phrasing and content.

If you prefer to post anonymously, we can do that too.

WHAT WE WANT

• Original content!

• Posts must be at least 1000 words.

• You can include a maximum of 3 links per post to YOUR site.

• You can include a maximum of 3 external links to sites other than your own. (These can be used for cites.)

• Authoritative tone that’s also laid-back and conversational: Your post needs to be seen as you know what you are talking about without being condescending. We are an educational site that is here to help spread accurate information.

WHAT WE DON’T WANT

• No affiliate links.

• Any post less than 1000 words. This, at least to us, demonstrates that there might be a lack of knowledge on the topic

• Fluff: redundant, filler words; uses many words to say little.

• Overly promotional content.

• Previously published and/or sponsored content.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We love our guest posts, but we do get a high volume of requests on a daily basis. As such, we only accept posts that are high-quality, timely, accurate, actionable, original, and resonate with our audience. Following the aforementioned guidelines will help us to respond to you faster and, if your topic is a go, get it published sooner.

Please note that guest posts are not paid.

Pitch response: Once you send in your pitch, you will receive a response within 72 hours. We will never keep you hanging, though. If your pitch isn’t chosen, we will let you know and let you know why it wasn’t chosen. That way, if you want to make any tweaks and resubmit your idea, you can! If you resend your original unchosen pitch a second time without making the necessary changes, you will be blocked from sending in any future pitches. The same goes for if your pitch is found to contain plagiarism.

If your pitch is chosen, then it’s time to celebrate! The next step is to send in a draft of your article.

Your Pitch Must Include:

• YOUR PITCH in the subject line

• Proposed ideas: Topic ideas are great; title ideas are even better!

• A little about yourself: What experience or expertise will you be drawing from in your post? If you have your own blog or social media, feel free to include links.

• Writing samples: Please link to at least one existing publication.

Draft: Hooray you made it to Part 2! You will have a total of 7 days after your acceptance email to send your draft to us. Included in your acceptance email we will send you a template that you can follow for your post [not required but some find it helpful]. We will send you a follow-up email if we receive nothing after 3 days, and then if we receive nothing within 7 days, you will need to start the process over.

If your draft meets our quality standards as stipulated above, we will send you a response allowing you to move forward to the editing phase. If your draft does not meet our quality standards, we will send you suggestions for improvement, and once it meets our quality standards, we will move forward.

​

IF YOUR DRAFT CONTAINS ANY CONTENT THAT IS PLAGIARIZED, IT WILL BE REJECTED IMMEDIATELY, AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED FROM SENDING IN ANY FUTURE PITCHES! IF YOU ARE INCLUDING CONTENT THAT IS NOT YOURS, MAKE SURE TO MAKE IT A CLEAR QUOTE WITH SOURCES CITED.

Edit: Part 3 is editing! You’re almost there! We will work with you on editing your post to make sure it aligns with our style guide. We will take care of grammar edits and minor wording changes. This will also be your chance to change, further elaborate, and add images to your post. You have a total of 7 days after your draft is accepted to complete your edits.

Publish: When everything is looking good and ready to post, in your final email include a 50-100 word “About the Author” blurb with links to your social media and/or blog that we can include so people can find you. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, just let us know.

Depending on the level of edits needed and our content calendar needs, your post could get published anywhere from 2-4 weeks after you’ve submitted it. This can be longer if we are particularly backlogged.

After Hitting Publish: When we publish a guest post on our site, we will also post about it on our Instagram, our Facebook Page, and our Facebook Group. Included in these posts we will include a link to your social media and/or blog [that you provided]. We will also send you a link to the post and a mockup post for you to use on your own social media and/or blog. Lastly, we will send you any and all comments for you to respond to.

Again, if you would prefer to remain anonymous, not to worry, we can do that too.
